family day :D

HAHA i can't believe this but I actually had fun at family day yesterday lolol. All thanks to Thanneer and Amy's Epic Fall. :D (the funniest thing that happened the whole day :D) oh god I'm still laughing when I think about it hahahhaa.

My family in KTT. For these 3 months. I am considered the family baby btw. According to Sean who is like my mom. HAHA.

Mandi sungai. :D

Attempted, miserably, at playing volleyball. Attempted, even more miserably, to play some game that involves throwing and catching a tennis ball. People like Loon Han and Amy can throw so freaking far. When I throw, not even halfway to the other side man. WEAK. :P

FAMILY DAY IZ FUN! :D

xx, karen♥

p/s, today I turn 19. happy birthday to me LOLOL. :D

A week before I leave home again. D: haha I just realised I haven't really posted anything good recently so I'm gonna think and write NOW. :) So yeah. A week to go. I haven't packed yet, not even a bit, because I'm much too lazy. I probably will pack in a few days.

I'm gonna miss the comfort of bring home. :( Hot water in the shower. Awesome, porkgasmic KK food. My dogs. My own bed, my own room, and INTERNET. (in KTT, nothing comes free. Internet is expensive and SLOW.) and my awesome blinged guitar (which I won't be bringing.)

*sad face*

I know three months of lazing ain't good for the brain. :P Looking back, I guess I spent the past three months on:

reading, (not just chick-lit, I'm learning to read brainy things. :P)

photography. (i think THIS is what it feels like to be passionate about something)

guitar and piano. (because i love both.)

I have also been lazing around, eating, and going out. :D Anyway, I can't wait to start KI. I can't wait to see my friends again. :) Although.. Learning languages is probably going to be challenging. :| But it sure is better than sitting around, bored. I wish I was around to celebrate my birthday though. :| oh wells. My thoughts are spinning around in dizzy little circles.

On a totally unrelated note, my mum and I raided her closet today, as in, the bags of old clothes we didn't know existed. :P AND I found a few AMAZING GORGEOUS vintage clothes. :) and I can fit into them hehehe. YAY! I was super excited at the discovery. I wonder if my mum has some vintage shoes hiding around somewhere. :P

On another totally unrelated note,

TATIANNA CHIANG, CONGRATULATIONS~! <3

I'm so happy for you, babe. :)

Also, I am forever alone. ;)

xoxo, karen.

THE sabah tour. ;)

Hi. :)

So Andreana, Gavin and Regi are here in KK! :) Met up yesterday to just hang out and show them KK's awesome places of interests (HAHA, yeah right :P)

Mich drove. A much better driver than I'll ever be, D:

At Sutera.

The sunset. :') so pretty. *Sasa took this pitcha! ><*

Then we headed to the magical musical fountain! LOL. Its in Tanjung Aru by the way. :) It reminds me of Sentosa in Singapore.

Even my crappy camera managed to capture the prettiness of the lights. ;)

And thennn, dinner at Upperstar KK. Gavin belanja minum! LOL at Gavin's expression here. haha.

Long Island iced tea. ;)

Group pic!

And then with Shana. ♥

I only posted up some pics. MALAS! Still exhausted from pulau trip yesterday. But anyway, I'm gonna put the rest up on FB when I've got the energy to. :)

xoxo!

HELLO WORLD. ;)

Morning everyone! :)

This week has been pretty boring for me. D: I feel tired all the time so I'm lazy to go out. My doctor tells me I'm anemic, which probably explains why I'm tired and pale. :P someone take me to an island, I need the sun! :|

Anyways. I finally went out last night, lol. For the past few days my dad has been asking me to go out and meet friends and I quote, "Don't stay home all the time bah." LOL. Never thought I'd hear that from my dad.

Met up at Derek's played several rounds of rummy. I swear I'm getting better at it, and I LOVE THE GAME! I even managed to win a few times, much to the guys' disbelief. :D it was aweshumm. And then I taught Haikal how to play haha.

And thennnn at 10 something we finally removed ourselves from rummy and went out to Damai for drinks. I saw Gilbert with his friends, that guy hasn't changed abit. :) He's still awesome and was the first person to talk to me in tuition all those years ago. ;) OMG its been years. Seriously, time FLIES man. I can't believe its still so easy to talk to him.

And then someone came up behind me and covered my eyes, which was awkward considering the fact that I DIDN'T KNOW WHO IT WAS, and OMG it was Leslie! Haven't seen him since.. 4 years ago, lol. Still it wasn't awkward, I've missed hanging out with him, and I used to hang out with him ALOT.

Catching up with the guys was really fun. (: And we've all changed so much! Kent's got a huge tattoo (OMG) and he's really buff. He can wear a tight pink shirt and not look gay (probably cos of the bulging muscles lol) Wakes up at 6 to exercise everyday, gosh. I should like, get diet tips from him or something. Haikal's gonna get engaged soon! His wedding is gonna be the first "friend's wedding" I'm gonna attend. ;) Can't wait. Jeremy and Derek are the same, except older and less obnoxious. ;)

I got home really late, like, 2 hours later than I said I would be. :O And I was thinking like my dad's gonna be pissed, ahaha. But thennn, he opened the gate for me (I LUPA BAWA REMOTE WTF) and he ain't even mad! He's so cool, my dad. :) I LOVE HIM. ♥

♥ karen

The thing is,

truth be told, its very very hard for me to be happy when so many of my friends aren't. :| I wish everyone made it, I really do. I think God has other plans for them, and He knows best. He always does. However, it probably doesn't make it any easier to accept.

So this is for my friends, who worked hard and are all seriously, deserving. I pray that you guys will be strong, and I pray that God bless you guys, comfort you, and reveal His glorious plans to you. May you guys all still be able to achieve your dreams. :)

♥ karen ♥

HAD A GREAT DAY. :)

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATIANNA! :)

(i know you read this when you're in australia, idk if you read it now that you're home, but whatever. ;D)

We've been friends for umm, 6 years? And she's one of my best friends, EVER, so its a big deal LOL. *hunts through laptop for old picture to make her cringe in embarrassment*

TAADA. ;D

YEARS AGO:

damn i used to have long hair. :'(

YEARS LATER:

and this is us currently.

Oh my we have grown. ;D

I love youuu! ♥ I hope you had a good time today :)

*HUGSSSS!*

graduation. ♥

so i uploaded on fb but here, i tried choosing those i didn't uploas on fb. :3

:)

i still think we look unnaturally WHITE here. D:

camwhore thru mirror, didn't realise sasa was behind. XD

ALU8 girls. ♥

i miss nader. :(

♥

i miss the monkeys already.

xoxo ♥

*finally got my laptop back am super in a good mood gonna upload all my photos*

Whole bunch of pictures but due to laziness, i'm gonna slowly upload in parts lol.

genting, with Sasa, Shana and Michelle. ♥

i'm so sorry sarah darling, it was too funny to resist uploading. :D

we all super lazy to take pics. having too much fun i guess? ;p

xoxo karen.

2 days to sabah. :)

We were pretending to be ESKIMOS.

And the picture is blurry cause my hand shook cause I was laughing too hard.

:D

xoxo karen

Yeah so, dinner with ALU8 last night, was AWESOME. :)

And yes its abit crazy for Amy and I to cram in a car (Kancil, no less) with the 4 monkey boys in our class, but seriously it was fun. Akmal is a pretty decent driver. ;) (I only complimented him here cos I'm 100% sure he doesn't read this. HAH!

But yeah, I didn't think going out with them to buka puasa was going to be so much fun. :) We rented 3 cars to go out, 18 people crammed into 3 cars should have been annoying but in fact was amusing.

I love my classmates! I have known them about a year, only started socialising less than a year ago but we're close, and I like that. I like how we celebrate EVERYONE'S birthdays together, as a class, and how we plan spontaneous trips like these just for fun. :P

And. We're all gonna fly to India next year, rawr. :D

xoxo!

Every girl's 5 best friends. ;)

Every girl needs 5 types of friends, and I'm not just talking about shoes, makeup, clothes, handbags and accessories. *wink*

I am lucky enough to have all 5 types. ;D And I'm writing this based on people I know but I shall not put down their names cause I'm shyyy. :D heh.

1. The Laugh-Til-You-wanna-pee-your-pants friend.

This is the friend whom I can talk to all the time (pretty much). The one who shares the same crazy sense of humor as I do. The one whom I can just say anything retarded or perverted and they would just laugh and come up with a super sharp comeback. This friend is the person who keeps me sane during the times I'm most depressed or worried or just plain upset. With them I learn to not take myself so seriously. With them I LAUGH like hell. This is my favorite friend of all. (:

2. The girly-girl friend.

This is the girl I would run to the shopping mall with. :D She shares the same enthusiasm I have for shoes and bags, and cute dresses, and well, pretty much anything girly. :) She's the friend who lets me try on her new shoes and the first girl I show off MY new heels to. Its a win-win situation, really. :) This is the friend whose opinion (fashion-wise) matters to me cause I trust her sense of style. She's the friend who spends 12 hours on a shopping trip with me and STILL doesn't get tired. *wink*

3. The Listener friend.

When I have a problem or just need to vent, I say nothing. yet this is the friend who will force it out, like it or not. The friend who will listen and let me cry to my heart's content. No need to say anything, no need for words of advice, just them being there to listen is enough to me. This is the friend who helps me deal with my pain, the one who is there to pick up the pieces.

4. The live-for-the-moment friend.

This is the friend who is fun, spontaneous, and exciting. The friend who is always up for adventure, anything fun, and the person I would demand accompany me on a road trip. The friend who loves islands and nature, just like me. The one who would jump from a diving board just cause I dared him to.

5. The Smart friend.

She's the super intelligent one. The one who KNOWS stuff and who isn't selfish, I could ask her anything and she would just KNOW, and share. She's fun to talk serious with, be it religion or environmental issues, or anything in between. She's just... SMART. And the most special part? She doesn't make me feel stupid, despite her braininess. :D She doesn't treat me like bimbo although I sometimes may be. And I love that about her.

Checklist! Do you have friends like these? ;)

xoxo karen

Hellooo, world. :)

Been a week since I blogged. Been a week since I even switched on my laptop. Been busy? Kinda. Studied, slaved away trying to finish tutorials and miscellaneous questions and blah blah blah.

And oh misery, the fan in my house died. IDK why, as I was in my room when it happened. :P

Argentina lost! Oh, boo hoo. I know, old news, but still I totally love them because as I so often say, a true fan never deserts her team. :) :) MEANING I WILL LOVE ARGENTINA AND MESSI NO MATTER WHAT. So there. :D

Oh yeah and Taylor Lautner is so heart-stoppingly SEXY in Eclipse, seriously, I LOVE. :)

On the downside, my Bio lecturer is changing yet again! For the third time. :( And this current one, I happen to really like! HAHA so we held this farewell party for him, kinda, but the truth is, we just love any excuse for a party. :D Some pictures I did manage to take before my battery died. :P

What we got for our lecturer as a present. A picture of us and him in a gorgeous glass frame. :)

Us with absolutely nothing to do. ;p

And yet again. This pic was taken by the monkey in the picture below.

AIN'T HE ADORABLE?! :D OMG i hope he never reads this, he makes fun of me often enough as it is. :P

And THIS. Is ALU 8. :)

I love my classmates, there's not a single person I dislike in my class. They're lovely people and I'm like gonna miss them so much someday. (:

xoxo rusty!

P/S and oh, its my mom's birthday today SIGHSSSS I miss her so much. :(

Went shopping yesterday! :) At Alamanda with the girls, its the closest to KTT and we needed to take picture for IELTS so we took the chance to go shopping, hehe. :)

Girls will be girls. ;) ♥

Hung out with Amy and Shana, I had more fun than I've had in like.. forever. ;p

Okay. I promise. I SHALL NEVER AGAIN DITCH MY FRIENDS FOR A STUPID RETARDED GUY WHO DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE IT.

:)

Super funny, I have no idea why Amy was so crazy yesterday. (OK fine she's always crazy kan hehe) She knocked hard into a pole at the bottom of the escalator and as though that wasn't embarrassing enough, the escalator STOPPED MOVING and we had to walk all the way up (practically killing ourselves laughing. :P)

And then in the supermarket, she spotted a carton of yogurt that was cheap, and she was so excited, she put it in someone else's trolley LOL. :P

Thats just a few examples okay, there were more throughout the evening. :P

And we went shoe shopping! I finally got a new pair of sneakers from Nose. Am super happy cause the sneakers were kinda cheap and I'm such a shoe addict, I LOOOOVE. :D Amy got a new bag cause I swear that girl is a bag addict.

I had forgotten how awesome it feels to hang out with the girls. It was awesome although we did act like guys. (discussed football alot, mainly about how handsome the players are ;P) I love shopping with them and like exclaiming and squealing over cute shoes and cute bags and cute guys. :P I am a total girly girl at heart, nobody would ever accuse me of being a tomboy.

I totally wanna go out with them more often.

I love you girls. :) xoxo ♥

I was just going through an external hard drive to search for some stuffs and I found my super old pictures, as in high school old and it totally brought back memories. (:

As much as I used to complain about high school, its true that I now miss it so much. I miss the friendships! We're all older now, we occasionally meet up and stuff, but still I miss everyone being together in class, trips together, etc etc.

Let me just go through and pick one.....

Aha.

I miss these guys. :D

Looking at pictures like this make me want to laugh and want to cry in equal measures. I miss them so much! Well maybe not la. I miss the BOND, the innocence, the times when we could just have fun and not think about anything EXCEPT having fun. (:

I miss that all so much.

High school wasn't so bad, really. :)

xoxo karen

Things I did today.

Woke up early, Samson picked me up, went for breakfast. Alot more perverted than he used to be. (sorry honey, I just couldn't resist, hehe. :D) But he's great company and I love him as much as always. (:

Went to Suria where we wandered around aimlessly for like, forever, and then watched Toy Story 3! Okay so initially I wasn't planning on watching it cause it seemed so.. childish? Then I realised its in 3D and KK FINALLY has a 3D cinema so it was like, okay, I'll just watch it and see how it goes.

And IT WAS AWESOME! Like OMG best cartoon in forever. Freaking adorable! i could just go on and on and on.

Oh but the uncool thing about 3D glasses if you already have glasses (like samson and I both) is that you wear TWO glasses. Which just looks retarded. :P

And then i went umm.. boat-rowing. Where I managed to cut myself and get salt water all over it and OMG it still stings. :(

But I did cam-whore alot. :P

I'm always gonna be a daddy's girl. (:

And oh my retarded brother is now SO MUCH TALLER than me. :P

Went home and watched the Argentina-Korea match. YAAAAY 4-1! :D Screamed at the TV excitedly. Drooled at Messi omg I don't care if he didn't score, he's still the hottest player in the WORLD and omg I loooove him. Oh yeah. He's even Catholic which officially makes him the perfect male specimen. :)

And I also realised the other Argentine footballers are seriously not half bad-looking. Except Tevez who looks somewhat like a caveman. But anyways. The rest are cuuute! And even their NAMES are cute like the goalkeeper Romero (OMG that sounds so... sexy. :P)

I kept nudging my dad and saying things like "OMG daddy he's SOOOO hot!" :P

And then we went out to eat after the match cos all I ate today was breakfast at 10 and half a bag of popcorn while watching movie in the morning. :P

Stingray! Been craving this since forever.

And my favourite dumplings. In KL I've been searching everywhere but NONE are as good as the ones in Sabah *wink*

And that was my Thursday. Few more days and I'm going back to prison. :( I hate KL now that I'm home.

Am off to bed. Have to wake up early tomorrow for my hospital appointment! sighs.

xoxo karen

Daddy, daddy! Look!

Kotobian tadau tagazo do kaamatan! :D

HEHE Minumla tapai banyak2. :P

And I even know the Sarawak version for Hari Gawai!

gayu guru gerai nyamai. :D

Thank you Eric. ;) hehe.

I was in church just now for like three hours. O_o. It was really awesome I feel like I'm back in Sabah with all the sumazau and magunatip. And the Kadazan songs. Shana, Sarah and I laughed like hell listening to Eric talk about Gawai. It was so much fun and I feel so free. It was just what I needed. (:

Ohmygod, 12th june hurry up and come already, I NEED TO GO HOME!

xoxo karen.

Stayed up til super duper late last night, its a miracle I'm up before noon today. Shana, Amy and Nader came over and Sasa and I totally had a blast with them. They brought over a guitar and we sang songs til like.. oh, idk? 1 am? I pity the poor people living below my apartment, already 1 in the morning and still have to hear us singing our hearts out. :D haha.

Still. It was fun! And I can't help but think, damn, I'm gonna miss these people when we're all grown up and flying away to India. :P

I just realised I really miss singing in that way. Used to do it alot in high school, the guys in class would bring their guitars and play, and I, being the totally thick-skinned wannabe singer I am, would pester them to play my favourite songs so I could sing along. :D

I miss high school. Much as we normally hate to admit it, I think everyone sometimes does, it was a part of their lives for 5 whole years and probably played a big part in molding who and how they are today. (:

xoxo rusty

wedding planning! :D

(this was taken ages ago.)

What happens when you put together these 6 teenage girls, in the library, with a newspaper that happens to be doing a 10 page feature on weddings?

BISING! :p

So like, we were in the library right, (the notoriously noisy and dirty-talking all8 girls, haha) and then Shana opened the newspaper and saw the feature, and that was when we all started grabbing the newspaper and talking at once.

Nader and Shana arguing about kids, Sean and I discussing rings, and everyone trying to talk at once when it came to perfect wedding ceremonies.

Seriously, I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard. :)

What is it about weddings that makes girls so.... crazy? :P Not that we weren't crazy before la, the thing is we always are. HAHA. But still..

And Amy said it best, "I like it when we all hang out like this.."

AWW! :)

Pre-AS kinda pushed everyone away from each other in a way, we were all like so busy studying and whatnot, we hardly saw each other. And AS is coming up! :(

*study study study til my head bursts open and spills out random disgusting chunks of Chemistry and Physics and maths.*

ewwwww.

Oh yeah and my fishies are still alive! Staring aimlessly at them every day seems to be my newest hobby. :p

I can really ramble on and on and on if I'm bored. Today is just one of those days.

xoxo rusty

Things Karen did so far today.

1. Woke up.

2. Laughed at Felicia cos she had to wake up at 8 whereas I slept happily til 10.

3. Makan. :D

4. Felicia's phone died so took the train to KL Sentral.

5. The inertia of the train KINDA knocked me off balance a bit, so I giggled out loud and that caused a random old woman to stare at me suspiciously (yeah she thought I was SLIGHTLY psycho. :P)

6. Sat at Starbucks and gossiped with Felicia til like.. oh, idk. 1? 1 something? :p

I just realised, the one and only thing I love about KL more than my beloved KK, is the fact that there are trains. :P Call me weird if you want to, but I like travelling on the train. Maybe cos I like staring at random people, it makes me laugh and I realise if you're quiet, you can actually observe alot. Example, the time I saw a lesbian couple on the train, HAHAHA ;p

And now, I'm in Felicia's living room wondering what movie to watch (we have the whole apartment to ourselves which means the volume can be on super loud, lol)

I feel like watching a stupid mindless movie that will make me laugh. Laughed at Enchanted yesterday cause it was soooooo retarded. :P HAHA.

xoxo rusty

Rusty's 18th ;)

(*super long post!*)

I am officially 18!! (:

You will not believe what happened to me last night. D:

Like I had no idea at all that my friends were so sneaky! :P Yeah for weeks I would hear or see Sasa and Waffle whispering among themselves and stuff.. And I figured they must be up to something but I had NO IDEA it was something so....... huge. :) hahahaa.

This was just so sweet of them. I mean okay, I admit, I was kinda depressed abit, At first. Away from home, etc etc. My mum and dad called last night and I cried! yes thats how manja I am. :p

And then Amy called when I was being depressed, with a crazy story about how Felicia fell down or some such crap, and asked me to go downstairs. I did, and waiting for me at my tangga, towel and all, were Sasa and Amy, who kidnapped me by wrapping the towel around my head. D:

Terrifying to walk and not see where you're going. But I made it without falling although I can feel various pokes and someone even hit me with Felicia's tongkat. D: ARGH.

And then there was the cake.

:') Touched leh.

And then there was the cream. All over my face and my hair. :(

And then the worst........... Suddenly. Out of nowhere..... Qiqi. Poured a whole bucketful of cold water on me, head to toe basah. D:

THAT was the thing that completely took me by surprise. :D

And I could hear everyone laughing at me, LOL. XD

And the thing is, there were a LOT of people there okay. Watching Qiqi attack me. It was actually damn funny la. Cos I scared people by running up to them and trying to cuddle them to make them wet toooo. :D

Tengok bah. Kesian my pink hoodie. :(

It was so sweet and I still can't believe so many people made an effort to like, turn up and make my 18th so memorable. :) I love you all!

Obviously I'm so blur and forgetful I bet I can't name every single person (I tried tagging everyone in my FB status, I tagged like 23 people only to find out the maximum I can tag is 6 like WTH. :P) So I'm gonna try now.

Shana, Amy, Sean. :) I love you three honestly. My Catholic girlfriends, Andreana, Christine, Cheylsea, Michelle, Jeannette.. The guys in my class, who gave me the nickname Rusty, ;) Joeffrey, Maegyver, Willy, Ricky, ahhh.... um... Edwin! Mark! :) My lovely Indian girlfriends, Charan, Reena, Agastii, Carol. And so many others I think, honestly I cannot remember! Oh yeah the awesome girls in my class as well.. Saiyidah, Ib, Hazlin, Nisa, Ezza. I love you guys so much and I'm so glad you guys turned up. :) My bestest guy friend who went through so much trouble to organise this for me, THANK YOU QIQI ILU. (:

And of course. Not forgetting my two AMAZING, GORGEOUS, LOVELY housemates. (:

SASA and WAFFLE, jaga la you two. I'm gonna take revengeeeeeeee! :D

Someday. ;p

Oh and, yeah..

After everything, Waffle passed me this. (:

I cried. Like OMG I CRIED. This is so sweeeeeet. (:

I love you. :)

Oh and before I forget. LOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!

I'll let you use your imagination and think for yourself what Sasa and Felicia were up to in this picture. *wink* Looks suggestive doesn't it. :D :D :D heheee.

Oh, yeah. And the best part is, they made me a video! (:

They stole my camera and posted some retarded pics of me at the end, but don't mind those. :) The video itself is so sweet it made me cry.. (:

Patience ah. It's like 12 minutes long so understandably, it will take forever to buffer before you can watch. If you haven't watched it yet last night. :P

But I won't post it right now, its taking too long to upload.. I'll post it LATER in a different, separate post. (:

This was truly memorable and again I say, I love you all. (:

xoxo rusty.
